Hi all,

Please be aware I'm not PC gifted.

I have a 550w power supply and an ASUS P5LD2 - EAYZ motherboard with an Intel 945P chipset and currently a P4 630. Tried to install a Core 2 Duo E7200 to no avail, little green light comes on and stays on (light that tells you PC is 'doing' something), manged to break my old fan in process so whilst getting a new one in PC world guy there mentioned it may be my power supply but having checked I cannot find anything. Motherboard as far as I know should run Core 2 Duo so I'm baffled, or is it a case new chip is duff?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers
